Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles

An indelible powerhouse in Los Angeles, Hauser & Wirth is the commercial art gallery you take your out-of-state friend to prove that the city is a necessary hub for the art market. Why else would the esteemed and unshakable family business make L.A. an important part of its global chain? In any given season, the vast former flour mill curates a wide range of work across its indoor and outdoor areas, heralding the works of established greats and newcomers alike. A footprint like Hauser & Wirth’s also allows for bigger programs and conversations around sustainability and conservation, which it organizes on a regular basis. Committed to walking the walk, the gallery has a garden that offers workshops with local gardeners, as well as a chicken coop with nearby beds of vegetables that are used to support the excellent on-site restaurant, Manuela. A newer, smaller West Hollywood outpost gallery of Hauser & Wirth, located in a vintage automobile showroom, was a welcome arrival for Westsiders.
